Reducing
Discrimination Initiative
International Federation Advocacy
 To
further understand the International Federation's position on a
wide range of discrimination issues and when developing activities
for the Reducing Discrimination Initiative, consulting
Federation advocacy methods related to the fight against discrimination
may be useful.
The following pages detail:
Key Points of the Reducing Discrimination Initiative
- The Red Cross Red Crescent Movement has
always been committed to reduce discrimination and violence and
will seek to proactively act and advocate at every level this
commitment as well as demonstrate it in practice.
- Impartiality is the fundamental principle
of the movement which directly implies taking action against discrimination
- National Societies and their members
and volunteers consistently deliver their services to the most
vulnerable in a non-discriminatory way and are fighting all forms
of discrimination.
- The mission statement of the Federation:
"To improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilizing
the power of humanity" directly implies acting to reduce
discrimination and violence
- National Societies are uniquely placed
to combat discrimination, both as part of the Movement and also
considering their particular role in civil society derived from
their auxiliary
status with governments
